How to upload images and videos with one file input that has different max size limits?

I use http://www.dropzonejs.com/ to upload multiple files, then a php class behind it to do several things like move, rename etc.

But also you can validate extensions etc and within here check if its an image / video then compare the size with its type from there, then return the results.

Laravel has a good file class etc that helps alot.

@simondavies Thanks for the reply.

This is what I'm stuck with. I'm wondering if I validate the input with mime types for images and video i.e. 'file' => 'mimes:jpeg,png,bmp,gif,svg,mp4,qt' how would I then check the file size. Surely I'd have to write another validate method using Validator::extend() but that's where I'm completely lost, there isn't much documentation regarding extend. I need to know how to return errors properly, etc.

Bumping this. Appreciate any kind of suggestions!

you can use the File api part (https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/requests#files) (http://api.symfony.com/3.0/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/File/UploadedFile.html)

Using the "Size" attribute part to get the file sizes. Something like, that i have used:

    $files = $request->file('file');
    $size = $files->getClientSize();

People might correct me i i'm wrong, but should be a start within you either custom validator or checks after etc

Si
